Just when you thought that the folks at Coker Tires had the entire antique market covered in wheel selection, the historic company comes out with another era-specific tire for classic cars, thoroughly tested and meeting today’s standards. At this year’s SEMA trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Coker tires unveiled their all new construction, adjustable spoke, 5-lug Ford wheels.
They are all new construction and not a refurbished piece.

“Currently, these are available in 17-inch and 19-inch sizes,” says Harriet Markham. “They are all new construction and not a refurbished piece, made specifically for the antique car owner that wants an era-specific wheel for his vintage car.”
“Made in the USA,” Markham proclaimed proudly. Coker also offers antique and vintage wheel restoration services for enthusiasts that want their own wheels brought back to life, in many cases better than showroom condition.
Also new to the Coker line this year is something for a late model car but with a vintage look and appeal. White wall tires for the Fiat 500, Fiat 500C and Fiat Abarth. “We wanted to give new car owners something with a resto-look from Coker Tires,” says Markham.
Granted, the Fiat 500 series is a great looking little car with mass appeal and giving owners the opportunity to customize the looks of their late-model compact with a vintage white wall tire might be just the thing to turn heads at the next car show.
